Norwegian North-Sea Operator #1
• Well was plugged with 22m3 QuartzPack in 2007
• Bull-headed down tubing and stopped as expected in perforated interval
• QuartzPack fills the reservoir and production tubing to 1800m RKB
• Time from equipment arrival on platform until demobilising: 2 days
• The well was left suspended to side-track after 1 ½ year observation period
• Bull-headed down tubing and stopped as expected in perforated interval
• QuartzPack fills the reservoir and production tubing to 1800m RKB
• Time from equipment arrival on platform until demobilising: 2 days
• The well was left suspended to side-track after 1 ½ year observation period
The upper part of the QuartzPack plug was successfully circulated out in 2009 and the well subsequently side-tracked.
Norwegian North-Sea Operator #2
• Reservoir conditions: 915 bar, 175° C
• Suspension: Temporarily suspended with QuartzPack (Jan. 2004) to wait for completion equipment. QuartzPack placed in the reservoir section from 4917 to 5150 mMD in 35° deviation.
• Removal: QuartzPack was completely removed (Feb. 2006) with open ended drill pipe, by washing out under controlled sink rate. Saved several rig days due to no need for milling operations.
• No reservoir damage: The well was completed successfully. Best producer in the Field.
